Cosmic Web

A cosmic web that worlds unite
in outer space has come to light.
Astronomers will have their say
about this bridge so far away,
uncovered through antennal might.

My fancies take poetic flight
in great beyond’s unfathomed height
to thus envisage holding sway
a cosmic web.

Mankind sleeps on within the night
of dark delusion’s blinding plight,
though all seems fused in vast ballet
where human dance comes into play…
When will we see with lumined sight
a cosmic web?


~ Harley White

Inspiration for this rondeau came from image and astronomy article ~ Cosmic bridge of radio waves provides first evidence of magnetic fields between galaxy clusters… Image ~ A bridge of radio-emitting plasma connects two galaxy clusters in a filament of the cosmic web.
